A study conducted by traffic management company CacheLogic points that of all P2P traffic:
-
BitTorrent takes up 53%
-
eDonkey2000, 24%
-
FastTrack, 19%
-
Gnutella, only 4%
CacheLogic rationalizes the increased success of BitTorrent on two points. In recent months, there has been a substantial increase in demand for TV (especially high definition) episodes, which BitTorrent has become well known for. In addition, the average size of files being traded on BitTorrent often exceeds 500 megabytes. According to CacheLogic, BitTorrent is the dominant P2P network on all tested locations except continental Europe.
